Thanks, I was only following links in the news item.

It kinda does. Because there's no non-systemd merged-usr plasma profile 
in 17. Only in 23. So, I cannot migrate to merged-usr before switch to 23.

Perhaps mention in the news item (or in the profiles table) that "after 
migrating to 23 profile you gain an option to migrate to merged-usr if 
you wish"?
